To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMIL WEISS, a citizen of the United States, residingatUnion Hill, in the county of Hudson, State of New J ersey, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes- Wringers; and Ido hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in clothes wringers, andparticularly to clothes wringers for use in connection with stationarylaundry tubs which have inclined sides.

The principal object of the invention is to improve the construction ofthe wringer whereby the same can be attached to a porcelain laundry tubwithout danger of disengagement and in such manner that it will not maror injure the face of the tub.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the followingdescription when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.

In the drawing: Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved wringerapplied to the edge of a tub; Fig. 2 is a side elevation; and Fig. 3 isa vertical section on the line 33 of Fig. 1.

Referring particularly to the accompanying drawing, represents one ofthe inclined sides of a stationary laundry tub which is formed with theusual lateral extension or flange at its upper edge, as shown at 11. The'wringer frame comprises the four uprights 12, and 13, arranged inpairs.

These uprights may be made of any mate-.

rial, but are preferably made of metal which is T-shaped in crosssection. The lower por- Gopies of this patent may be obtained for fivecents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents,

A wringer thus constructed and arranged will be moreeflectively held inan upright tion of each of the legs 12 inclines outwardly as shown at14c to properly engage the inner inclined face of the side of the tub.The inner face of this portion 1 1 is provided with a cushion 15 toprotect the face of the tub from scratching. The lower portion of eachof the legs 13 is offset as shown at 16, and in each portion is carrieda screw 17, the inner end of which is provided with a protecting button18. Disposed against the outer face of the side of the tub, and beneaththe flange 11 is a longitudinally extending board 19, to which there aresecuredthe vertical metal strips 20, each formed with a threaded opening21 for the reception of one of the position on the tub, and by means ofthe board 19 and members 20, the surface of the side of the tub will beprotected. lVhat is claimed is: I

A clothes wringer for use in connection with a laundry tub having arolled rim, comprising uprights, each formed at the lower end with afoot, the foot of one upright being inclined to correspond to theinclination of the side of the tub, clamping screws in the other foot,and a spacing and guiding member for the screws consisting of a boarddisposed under the rolled rim, and depending members having threadedopenings for the reception of the said screws, said feet and inner endsof the screws being provided with protective coverings. a
